Umm, you never did have that license, then, and you used the software
in an unauthorized manner. In short, you used a pirate copy.
Uh, no Mike, he was behind door number 3. Legally using his employer's
license while employed and unable to do so once no longer employed with that
individual/company.
I understand the situation completely. You apparently do not.
If he created (as he said) his *own* files using those tools,
and not those of his employer, then he used a pirate copy.
I am morally certain that the EULA did not include a clause like
"You are permitted to let other people who do not have a license
use this software, for their own purposes, so long as you do not
charge them, and they also use this software for you for your own
purposes."
See my other message.
